This week, we’ll consider how to add books to your library, the book recommendation functions, stats, the user interfaces, and discussion/groups. It’s a ridiculous amount of information, so I’ll be splitting this over two weeks. The two most popular book cataloguing/social networking sites seem to be Goodreads and LibraryThing.So which one should you use? What are the benefits/drawbacks of each? I’ve got accounts on both sites and have done some major digging into their terms of service (TOS) and various functionalities to give you some (many) points to consider about both sites. While I used to do this on a spreadsheet, the internet has kindly provided a digital way to catalogue my books with the ADDED BONUS of allowing me to interact with other bookish folks. Books I own, books I own that I haven’t read, books I own that have purple covers- whatever. If there’s one thing I love almost as much as books, it’s making lists of books.
